8 years

8 years ago today, my life changed forever.  At the time I was in the best shape of my life.  I was strong. I was thin, and I was happy.  I had just celebrated my 3rd anniversary with my amazing husband. 8 years ago, while getting dressed, I found a life changing lump in my breast. Before I could even process what was happening to me, I was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer at 34 years of age.

I am 42 years old and extremely grateful. Last week I celebrated my 11th anniversary with my supportive husband.   I have an amazing group of friends, I am more in love with my husband now than ever, and I live a normal(-ish) life.  What else can a metastatic cancer patient ask for?
